1. The leaf I had was a Red Oak.
2. It's scientific name is Quercus rubra.
3. A fungus that infects the tree is Oak Wilt. It consists of leaf discoloration, wilt, defoliation and death.
4. My tree provides food for deer, bear, squirrels, and more mammals eat acorns, birds also eat them too.
5. The red oaks are related by having long styles. The acorns mature in 18 months. They are very bitter and inside the acorn is shell woolly.
6. A couple commercial uses for my tree are furniture, flooring, mill-work, railroad ties and veneer.
7. The twigs are slender, small, a greenish brown to a dark brown.
8. This tree is found in the Eastern U.S. Not the south Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains.

Couscous is the food i got to do research on.

1) Couscous comes from London, England.

2) This grain could be served under meat or vegetable stew. It also could be served alone. It comes on a plate with vegetable and chickpees.

3) Couscous is made by rolling and shaping moistened semolina wheat and then coating them with wheat flour. This is an easy thing to cook.

DNA Replication Project

Step 1.

The starting strand of DNA.


Step 2.

The unwinding strands of DNA.

Step 3.

DNA starts forming 2 new strands.

Step 4.

2 new strands of DNA.


Telomeres- A single molecule of DNA connected with a variety of proteins.
Okazaki Fragments- A DNA polymerase that can synthesize a piece of complementary strand.
DNA Ligase- The DNA that stitches the Okazaki Fragments together.
Telomerase- An enzyme that adds a single molecule to repeat the sequences to the end of the DNA strands.
Cancer- Arise form somatic cells, the crucial features of a cancer cell form a normal somatic cell is its ability to divide indefinitely.
Transplanted Cells- Remove cells from person, put them with a gene because the patient can not synthesize, give them back to the person.
Cloning- When you make and organism and make more than one.
Aging- when the cell shrinks and cant hold life and dies.
